The Lioyds' Gift to London.

A curious gift was recently made to the
corporation of London by Lloyds, the
great marine insurance exchange, in the
shape of q cannon recovered from the sea
after being immersed during a period of
nearly ninety years. From the admiralty
records it appears that ON October 8, 1899,
the man-of-war Lutine, thirty-two guns,
sailed from Yarmouth roads with an inn
mensc quantity of tresure for the TeXel.
In the course of the day it came on to
blow heavy gale, and the vessel was lost
and went to pieces. Salving operations
during eighteen months resulted in the
recovery Of $4,000 in specie. In 1914
further attempts were made to get at the
wreck, which had become deeply imbedded
in the sand, but with very Indifferent sue,
cess, the result of seven years toll QS14-2D
being the recovery Of only few pieces of
silver. In 1929 several thousand pounds
were spent in diving operations, but the
result was absolutely nil.
Next Lloyds appeared on the scene, and
after much negotiation the Dutch gov
eminent agreed to hand over half of any
further salvage recovered to Lloyds.
From 1922 to 1857 spasmodic efforts were
made to fish up further specie, but the re-
suit was merely anxiety and veXation of
spirit TO those engaged in the venture. In
1857 O further agreement was entered
into between the Dutch government and
Lloyds, and from 1857 to 1861 Sixty
years after the wreck took place great
good fortune attended the efforts of the
searchers, about e25, 900 being the amount
of Lloyds' share; some interesting relics
were also found, including part of the
ships rudder and her bells. Further
operations were continued with fair sue
cess, as proved by the gift recently made
to the city corporation, The question now
arises, What are they going to do with itl

English and American Smokers.

Zone of the features of American street
life that strikes an Englishman on first
arriving here most forcibly," says young
Londoner whose acquaintance I made at
the Palmer house an evening or two ago,
els the abundance of cigars. Twas simply
astounded to observe, on my arrival here,
teamsters, porters, cabmen, aye, even ped
lers with handcarts, smoking cigars, In
England, you know, where cigars cost
just as much as they do here, a man who
never smokes anything on the street but a
cigar is looked upon as an epicure, and, if
he is not n gentleman of landed property,
is regarded as very extravagant fellow.
What do we smoke? Why, pipes, of course.
know fellows-London fellows, too-who
are worth all the way from e100 to 81 600
year, who are inveterate smokers, and
who yet regard cigars with about as much
reverence as you do diamonds no doubt.
cigars, at three pence or six cents apiece,
per day. No; I must say that the princely
extravaganza of the American smoker,
who, though he may be too poor to buy
himself q warm overcoat when the cold
winds come, will still scorn to smoke q
pipe on the street, floors me-. In London,
if costermonger or cabman appeared
among his comrades with a lighted cigar
in his mouth, he would be hooted from
one end of the street to the other for en-
deavoring to assume luxury his circum-
stances in life did not entitle him to. -

Tho Logic of Events.

The people of Los Angeles tell story
to the effect that Senator Stanford opposed
the extension of the Southern Pacific
southwark into San Diego county some
years ago, and that he answered the i'm
portunities of a prominent official of the
road by asking what use there was of
building road into country where they
had to import potatoes and other veget-
ables. On the occasion of the recent visit
of the senator to southern California,
while in Los Angeles in company with the
official before alluded to, his attention was
called by the latter to a train of freight
cars on the track Of the Atchison and To-
peka company, marked ''perishable. "Do
you know what those cars contain, sena-
tori" queried the official. enc" answered
the senator, in an interested tone "Pota-
toes" was the reply. So much emphasis
was placed on the word that the senator
remembered his opposition of years before.
He was probably convinced that it is not
always wise to wait until the freight is in
sight before providing facilities for haul
ing it. San Francisco Chronicle.

Best Diet for Summer.

'sFarinaceous food has of late become
very popular with Brooklynites," said a
local restauranteur recently. oWhy? Be-
cause in summer o man doesn't need SO
much blood producing diet as he does in
winter. The proper diet for hot weather
is milk, bread and once day, If a man
works hard, q little meat won't hurt him.
Nothing is more heating to the blood than
roast beef, and he who wishes to be cool
in summer will avoid it. Yes, I admit
that many men can't drink milk, but
these men have weak stomachs and in
consequence don't enjoy life Let me tell
you, young man, when one has dyspepsia
as have had it life is not worth fighting
for. Am cured? Well, should say SO.
You want to know what effected the cure,
ehs Clam juice, not CLAIMS, mind you, but
the juice as it comes from the clam when
opened. If it were possible would have
clam juice bottled and sold as cure for
dyspepsia 1t never fails to do the work.

Firing n Locomotive.

The work of firing an engine comes very
near being skilled labor, especially on q
lightning run. Then one has to be feed
ing coal almost constantly from the start.
And the coal must not be thrown into the
frebox carelessly, but it must be placed
where it will do the most good. The
steam must be kept up to the figure, and
no great variations from the standard are
allowed. A fireman has so much to do
